What do you guys think the "game-changing decision minutes after the competition begins" could be?

My first thought is maybe someone gets the chance to swap tribes if they think they belong more in Beauty/Brain/Brawn...

Putting the pieces together by looking at the episode title and the fact that "one castaway seeks revenge after discovering that her tribe wants to vote her out" all signs are pointing to a Beauty loss at IC1 and a Beauty to be first boot...

Just speculation but the few pieces we have seem to fit.

But I hope it is one big episode like the HvV premiere and not two episodes lumped together like the Gabon premiere. Either way - I'm excited and I have high hopes for this season!

How could that one female castaway discover that her tribe wants to vote her out? You don't just tell everyone "you're weak, we want you gone", especially right from the start.

What I'm thinking, is maybe the tribes voted someone out in a Tocantins kind of way. But then the people voted out were told that they are not out of the game and have only just gained more power; they are eligible to join another tribe (which might not want to get rid of them) should they want to. :p

EDIT: by the way, I think the title "hot girl with a grudģe" is either about Alexis or Morgan. Most probably Morgan

Apparently the twist on Day 1 is going to be Tocantins-style mixed with a bit of Samoa. Tribes will choose their leader and then the leader will designate a "weakest player" who gets sent back to camp in a helicopter and can then make a choice between a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol or an extra bag of rice, hence the "big decision" that three castaways must face.

Also there is talk in there of an EI/CI-style HII reappearing "later in the game" on top of the original standard idols which can be played after votes are read if somebody has the most votes. I'm not very keen on that TBH, but if omeone can get their hands on both a standard idol and the old-style idol, it sure gives them huge power in this game... virtually untouchable for a while.

Looks like Trish took extra rice and was 'weakest' on Brawn. GARRETT and MORGAN taking idol clues! :O Wait a sec, who on earth voted Garrett weakest

David, Sarah and LJ were voted leaders and voted Garrett, Trish and Morgan for being the weakest - from there, Garrett and Morgan took the HII clues and Trish took the extra bag of rice; Garrett found the idol whilst Morgan was outed for looking suspiciously on a rock shelf
